What Causes Rash In Neck Before A Week Of Periods?
I'm concerned about a rash that I get on my neck. It seems to come on about a week or so before I get my menstrual cycle. You can't tell it's there, unless you really look. It resembles the appearance of hives, but is not itchy at all. You can definitely feel it by touching the skin.

Menstruation is a physiological(normal) process of female body which depends on hormones specifically oestrogen and progesterone. Progesterone is more in concentration in our body before the menstrual cycle. And after that progeterone decreases and oestrogen increases. This hormonal change leads to redness. Its nothing at all to worry about. You can apply calamine lotion just for soothing effect.
